SANFORD D. KINSEY, OF BYRON, MICHIGAN.

MACHINE FOR TRANSMITTING MOTION.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 402,744, dated May 7,1889.

Application filed November 30, 1888. Serial No. 292,289. (No model.)

To aZZ whom it may concern.-

citizen of the United States, residing at Byron, in the county ofShiawassee and State of Michigan, have invented new and usefulImprovements in Machines for Transmitting Motion, of which the followingis a specification.

My invention relates to an improvement in machines for transmittingmotion from an englue to a thrasher or other machine; and it consists inthe peculiar construction and combination of devices that will be morefully set forth hereinafter, and particularly pointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a top plan view of a machineembodying my improvements. Fig. 2 is a vertical transverse sectionalview of the same, taken on the line a: w of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is aperspective view of the machine.

A represents a circular platform, which is provided with radial arms B,and on the under side of the platform are radial supportingsills O,which are bolted to the platform and to the arms B. The platform isprovided with an annular opening, D, concentric therewith and extendingnearly entirely around the platform.

E represents a sleeve or standard which is secured on the center of theplatform, and F represents a vertical shaft, which extends through thecenter of the platform and through the center of the sleeve or standard,and has its lower end secured to the center of the platform by means ofclamping-nuts or other suitable devices.

Arranged concentrically on the platform on the inner side of the slotDare bearings G, in which are j ournaled anti-friction rollers H.

I represents a wheel which is j ournaled on the shaft F, is supported atits rim on the rollers H, and is provided on its upper side with beveledgear-teeth K.

Secured rigidly on the platform between the ends of the slot D is astandard, L, in which is journaled a horizontal shaft, M. The inner endof the said shaft is journaled in a bearing, N, that is swiveled on theshaft F. Secured to the shaft M is 'a beveled gear wheel,'O, thatengages the wheel I, and also secured to the said shaft, on oppositesides of the wheel 0, are drums or pulleys P R.

T represents a standard that is arranged on the platform and is providedwith clampingbolts U, that extend downward through and work in the slotD, and have clamping-nuts V at their lower ends, by which the bolts maybe tightened in such manner as to secure the standard on the platform atany desired adj ustment. A shaft, W, has its bearings in the swiveledbearing S and in the standard T, and to this shaft is secured agear-wheel, X, that engages the wheel I and pulleys Y Z,that arearrangedon opposite sides of the wheel X.

The operation of my invention is as follows: The engine (not shown) hasits driving-shaft connected to the shaft M by an endless belt, which mayengage either the pulley P or the pulley R, and the machine may bearranged at any desired angle with relation to the engine by adjustingthe standard T, the counter-shaft of the machine being connected to theshaft WV by an endless belt, which may engage either the pulley Y or thepulley Z.

My invention is particularly designed to be used for connectingthrashing-machines to steam-engines, and enables the thrashing-machineto be established at any desired angle from the engine, so that thelatter may be so arranged with reference to the wind that the sparks andcinders therefrom will be blown from the stack or barn, and therebyavoid the danger of setting fire to the same.

I do not desire to limit myself to the use of my invention in connectionwith steam-engines and thrashing-machines, as the same may be alsoadvantageously employed in mills,

factories, and for running all kinds of machinery.

Having thus described my invention, I claim- *1. The combination of theplatform, the shaft F thereon, the wheel I, loose on the shaft, therigid standard L, the shaft M, journaled in said standard and having thegear-wheel O engaging the wheel I, and provided, further, with pulleys,one or more, the standard T, secured to and adjustable concentrically onthe platform, whereby it may be arranged at any desired angle withrelation to the shaft M,

and the shaft W, journaled in the standard T, having the gear-wheel Xengaging wheel I, the bearings loose on the shaft F, and in which theinner ends of the shafts M W are journaled, and the pulleys, one ormore, substantially as described.

2. The combinaiion of the platform having the concentric slot D, thestandard L, the 1nov-.

able standard T, having the clamping-bolts working in the slot D, thecentral shaft, F, the wheel I, loose thereon, the bearings N S, loose onthe shaft F, and the shafts M W, journaled in the standards L T andhaving their inner ends journaled in the bearings N S, said shafts beingprovided with the gears engaging Wheel I and also provided with thepulleys, substantially as described.

3. The platform having the curved slot D, the central shaft, F,wheel I,loose thereon, the rollers supporting the rim of the wheel, the rigidstandard L, the bearing N, loose on shaft F, the shaft M, j ournaled instandard L and bearing N and having the gear engaging wheel I and thepulleys the standard T, the clamping-bolts working in the slot D tosecure said standard to the platform at any desired adjustment, thebearing S, loose on shaft F,

the shaft W, journaled in standard T and in bearing S and having thewheel X engaging Wheel I, and the pulleys, substantially as described. v

4. In combination with the toothed wheel I, the rollers H, forsupporting the sameby bearing on the under side thereof, the shaft F, onwhich the wheel I is loosely mounted, the shaft W, the gear-Wheel X,mounted on the shaft W and engaging the toothed wheel I, and thestandard T for the shaft W, adj nstable in a curved line around thewheel I, substantially as described.

5. In combination with the toothed wheel I, the shaft F, on which thewheel I is loosely mounted, the shaft W, the gear-wheel X, mounted onthe shaft \V and engaging the toothed wheel I, and the standard T forthe shaft W, adjustable in a curved line around the wheel I,substantially as described.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereto affixedmy signature in presence of two Witnesses.
